Ep 653 John Corabi's new album New Day & working with Buckcherry, Guns n Roses plus Blackberry Smoke

John Corabi joins the show to discuss his new solo album, New Day, due out April 24, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. The album is being described as Corabi’s first full-length solo album of original material, and it was recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by Marti Frederiksen. The title track was released first, followed by the single “That Memory.” Corabi is widely known for his work with Mötley Crüe, The Scream, Union, ESP, and The Dead Daisies, and New Day marks a different chapter by putting the focus squarely on his own material. According to the album announcement, the record draws from classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences. The album’s announced track list includes “New Day,” “That Memory,” “Faith, Hope And Love,” “When I Was Young,” “One More Shot,” “1969,” “Laurel,” “Good To Be Back Here Again,” “Love That’ll Never Be,” “Cosi’ Bella,” “Your Own Worst Enemy,” and “Everyday People.” For this interview, John talks about the making of New Day, the songwriting and recording process behind the album, and where this release fits into the next stage of his career. No fake hype, no mystery smoke machine, just Corabi and the record.
